How restrictive is the timer?

[solaris32]

Lot of memes about people afraid to rest. So I'm wondering is the timer really restrictive, or can I essentially ignore it and just enjoy the game?

I'm not sure I understand your question. A full rest can be taken as long as you have enough supplies to do so so it's not so much a function of time as it is materials.

What timer?

[Lord Adorable]

There is no timer. :o

There are no timers in this game.

A short rest is instant. You do it while travelling.

For the long rest you must travel back to your camp.

Hey means because of the tadpoles.

I'm actually really curious myself how much fear of this affects the full game. I normally hate mechanics like this but with Larian I'm willing to believe that with every mechanics they had their reason and at least give the thing a try.

I think he means if there are repercussions for treating your uh... passenger, without the urgency you should. Which is to say, the absence of Ceremorphosis should by no means make the predicament less urgent, but that's narrative urgency, OP is probably looking for a somewhat more meta perspective. I'd like to know too, tbh.

There were speculations that resting to often could have negative consequences, based of the tadpole powers.
However, in ea it was the use of the tadpole powers during dialogue, not resting itself that progressed you towards the true soul path, not resting.
It's also not clear if that really was a bad thing, though it is implied. but it could just be another path through the main quest. nothing is known at this point.
In any case there was never a timer and you can rest your life away. ;P
